Bourgogne Aligote 2005, Pierre Janny 7.88 94.59 far removed from so many thin, acidic wines bearing the name, this is an extremely well-made wine, in a compact style, with plenty of fruit, traditionally the base for Kir

Petit Chablis 2006, Domaine Bernard Defaix www.bernard-defaix.com 7.89 94.71 produced in very small quantities from grapes grown on gravel soil on the flatter grounds of Chablis, the wine is characterised by its freshness, preserved by being bottled only 8 months after harvest, and the minerality of Chardonnay grown on stony ground

Chablis vieille vigne 2005, Domaine Bernard Defaix (website) 10.61 127.37 from a one hectare plot of vines over 45 years old and well exposed to the sun, 25% of the wine is aged in oak, using regular batonnage, for 10 months, the remainder being aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, to produce an elegant wine with good body, delicate bouquet and subtle hints of honeysuckle and oak

Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy 2002, Domaine Verret 13.58 162.97 already showing superb depth of flavour, yet could still (halves) 7.63 183.07 be worth keeping for a few more years
